What I Found
A practical Stream Deck Plus tip: use Action Wheel on the dials to scroll through apps, shortcuts, lighting.
I came back to the Stream Deck after using Loupedeck for a while, and I realized there was a Stream Deck Plus feature I had mostly missed: the knobs can do more than just flip through pages or profiles.
On the Stream Deck Plus, add an Action Wheel to one of the dials. Inside that Action Wheel, add actions like Open Application, keyboard shortcuts, lighting controls, or shortcut-based apps. Then you can turn the dial to scroll through those actions and press the dial in to run the selected one.
